Part 2 coming in January! Oh yeah!!

When Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 was announced, we knew we'd have to wait a while for the second part, but it's actually coming sooner than originally thought. The official release date for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 is January 29, 2013. Below you'll find the cover art for the highly-anticipated film along with the trailer, in case you missed it before.

The second part will include all new featurettes, 3 bonus cartoons, a digital comic, and a sneak peek at the upcoming Superman: Unbound animated feature.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 picks up where the first left off with Batman having returned to Gotham with an all new Robin, however not everyone is welcoming him back to the streets. Gotham City's police are on a manhunt for the Batman as is the newly released Joker. As Batman attempts to stop the Joker one last time, the United States goverment teams up with Superman to bring the Dark Knight down for good.

Peter Weller returns as the voice of the aged Dark Knight along with Ariel Winter as Carrie Kelly, the new Robin. "Lost's" Michael Emerson provides the voice of the 'cured' Joker and Mark Valley will play the Man of Tomorrow, Superman.

I'm glad they are releasing part two so soon. I wonder if a box set of parts one and two will be released at that time? Part one is the only DC animated film I don't own yet.

Part One was really good and so I'm really looking forward to this release! In fact this animated feature was way better than Dark Knight Rises in my opinion.

I have part one on my netflix dvd Q but I may take it off and just buy the thing. Both parts look good. I recently just watched Batman: Year One and it was pretty good.

Year One is pretty good Will but I think Dark Knight Returns is the best of the Batman one so far.

I really want to watch them but I may wait and see if they release them together. And to me Year One seemed to be more od a Jim Gordon story more so than a Batman one.

Part 2 is available for digital download already here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00AWTTUHI/comingsoon

Wow! They released the download before the movie release date? I'm tempted to do that but I'm not willing to pay for it twice. I want my Blu-Ray!

They are starting to do this occasionally now. They did it with "Prometheus" too.

Rico were you able to get this early? Is it Prime only or something? Did you see it?

It was up for awhile. I'm not sure why it's down now. I have Prime but can't access it either. Oh, well. It will be out soon anyway on DVD, etc.

I cannot wait to see this...I know I was a little harsh about part one but books three and four of the comic are both so, so, so great that it would be almost impossible to mess them up. Anticipation is high...

Saw part two last night and loved it! Really, really well done in my opinion. Great voice work, animation, and some amazing action sequences. I think between this and part one it's my favorite animated DC movie to date. And boy - do I want to see a live action movie version of this story someday!
